商品簡介
Comparatively examining Chinese-American and Chinese-Canadian communities in Los Angeles and Toronto, respectively, through the lens of critical race theory, Fernando (political science, York U., UK) concentrates on three major areas of concern: "the racialized nature of Canada and the United States and the institutions and processes within these countries that undermine racialized minority groups' full access to political participation and substantive citizenship; the histories of Chinese Canadians, Chinese Americans, and Chineses immigrants to these countries, the difficulties they faced, and the racialization that has taken place; and the importance/role of ethnoculturally specific community groups in the life of racialized minorities." Although his analysis focuses on ethnic Chinese populations, he asserts that many of his findings remain applicable to other racialized minorities in the United States and Canada.
